Coffee Break with Beth Lewis: The Rush

In this episode of "Coffee Break" author Beth Lewis joins me to talk about her stunning new historical crime novel, "The Rush".   The gold rush narrative typically conjures images of rugged men panning rivers and staking claims, but Beth Lewis deliberately shifts focus to three women whose paths cross during the Yukon Gold Rush of 1898. The Rush Gold fever has taken him. I believe he means to kill me... Canada, 1898. The gold rush is on in the frozen wilderness of the Yukon. Fortunes are made as quickly as they"re lost, and Dawson City has become a lawless settlement. In its midst, three women are trying to survive on the edge of civilisation. Journalist Kate has travelled hundreds of miles after receiving a letter from her sister, who fears that her husband will kill her. Martha"s hotel and livelihood are under threat from the local strongman, who is set on buying up the town. And down by the river, where gold shimmers from between the rocks, Ellen feels her future slip away as her husband fails to find the fortune they risked so much to seek. When a woman is murdered, Kate, Martha and Ellen find their lives, fates and fortunes intertwined. But to unmask her killer they must navigate a desperate land run by dangerous men who will do anything for a glimpse of gold...
